The State of Parizh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 27.47 billion Parizhians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The thriving Parizhian economy, worth a remarkable 1,149 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 41,858 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 163,761 per year while the poor average 7,288, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, all tariffs have been abolished, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Parizh has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Parizh's national animal is the deer.

Parizh is ranked 72,049^th in the world and 1^st in Republic of France for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,364.1 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
